The Bachelor host Chris Harrison may have dropped a subtle hint confirming reports Caila Quinn will be the next Bachelorette.

Harrison wrote in his Yahoo! TV blog there "wasn't a single dry eye in the house" when America watched the moment Ben Higgins sent Quinn home after their Fantasy Suite date in Jamaica.
"Caila had the first date with Ben and almost made it to the end of the journey. She was so in love and so positive and so blindsided when it all ended," Harrison said.
At The Women Tell All, Quinn explained how difficult it is for her to fall in love and how special her relationship with Higgins was as a result.
"Caila is obviously better for having let herself fall in love and she is ready to do it again," Harrison added.

Harrison insisting the 24-year-old software sales representative from Hudson, OH, is "ready to do it again" would appear to hint she'll be starring on Season 12 of The Bachelorette.
"Love is one of those things you really can't make happen," the host continued in his blog, "but when it does, you have to get out of your own way and let it run its course."
Sources told Us Weekly earlier this week that ABC has picked Quinn as the franchise's next leading lady. She was spotted filming scenes for The Bachelorette in her hometown which would likely turn out to be her intro package.
Not only is she beautiful, bubbly and vulnerable, but Quinn also brings a lot to the table culturally and education-wise. Quinn fulfills producers' desire for more diversity on the show since she's half-Filipino, she graduated from Boston College with a degree in marketing, and she even speaks German.
Quinn recently talked about whether she'd be interested in finding love on TV again as the Bachelorette. She admitted the process is "exciting" although there's a lot of "condensed emotions" in a "condensed period of time."

"I might do it again, because I did fall in love, and it did work for me. It has worked for so many other people before, and that's what I really want in life, and so who cares how you meet somebody as long as they're the right person?" Quinn told Entertainment Tonight after her The Bachelor elimination aired.
